Fire bottles have inspection stickers. Most companies require that their bottles be discarded after 10 years. They must be serviced every 2 years, and
most say if you go 5-6 years without servicing, the bottle
must be tossed. This bottle has a production date of 2010, service date of 2012 and has never been serviced. It is also bone empty. In the trash it goes. Modern fire bottles are using a slightly larger tubing, different retardant etc. Good to update to a new system.
